Fast food, vodka and work: 74-year-old Vera Wang revealed the secrets of her youth (8 photos + 3 videos)

Wedding dress designer Vera Wang never ceases to amaze with her toned figure and beautiful complexion. She revealed several secrets that help her look at least twice as young at 74 years old.





Recently, the DKMS Gala party took place in New York, where Vera Wang gave an interview to Page Six journalists. She said that she does not follow a diet and easily eats fast food.

“I use McDonald's, no problem at all, I order food from there every day. I can spend two weeks like this, then I change it to something else,” said the fashion designer.

Vera Wang also admitted that she loves Dunkin' Donuts: “I like a donut with a cream filling and sugar glaze. It's like a jelly donut, but inside there's cream, vanilla cream. I also like pink with sprinkles.”

Earlier, in 2020, the celebrity shared the following anti-aging secrets: “Work, sleep, a cocktail with vodka and a little sun.”

In an interview with Page Six reporters, she confirmed that it is her work that helps her stay young.

“Basically, I’ve been working all my life, so that’s really what it’s about. I think that work helps to stay in good shape and maintain youth. I work a very long time, I raised two daughters. I think being a workaholic is the best way to maintain good health."

The legendary fashion designer said that she is not too concerned about her appearance and is more concerned about the question of how to avoid physical disability in old age and remain in good health.

“I'm not very concerned about how I look. I love my job, I'm very passionate about it, as well as my friends, my daughters... I mean, I have a very busy life."

Last year, however, she shocked fans by showing off her incredibly toned figure in a series of photos from her 73rd birthday celebrations.

In an April interview with People, Vera Wang also said that her ageless beauty is achieved by drinking vodka cocktails, sleeping nine hours, working hard and not sunbathing.

“One of my favorite things is a vodka cocktail. There's no doubt about it, I love it. I drink vodka after about five or six hours, closer to seven,” she explained.

And although she noted that no one “ever believed her,” one of her top tips for staying young is to work. She claims that work helps keep the mind, body and soul young.

In a conversation with Elle magazine, the fashion designer noted that work has been her “lifeline” for as long as she can remember.

“Work was my lifeline, which for many years helped me feel needed, in demand and did not allow me to stand in one place. I think the mind is more powerful than one might imagine. The challenges that work and life give us are what drive us forward.”

Vera Wang told the publication that sleep patterns are also very important. She usually sleeps nine hours every night. Sometimes a little less, but definitely not six or seven hours. This is not enough for her. A good rest helps her calm down and control herself.

“Every age has its own standards of beauty,” says the fashion designer. “I’m very flattered that people think I’ve aged gracefully, but that was never my goal.”

“Now I am faced with a moment where they talk too much about my “amazing” aging. I just hope it doesn't crowd out what's important: my work. This raises the issue of ageism, and I don't want thatto be labeled,” she adds.

Vera founded her company at the age of 40 and considers herself very lucky. Today she is a famous designer of wedding dresses and skater dresses. After all, once in her childhood Vera herself was involved in figure skating, but she did not achieve success and decided to enter the fashion industry. She became an independent bridal wear designer. Her dresses have been worn by Ariana Grande, Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian.
